I need to add two subplots to a figure. One subplot needs to be about three times as wide as the second (same height). I accomplished this using GridSpec
and the colspan
argument but I would like to do this using figure
so I can save to PDF. I can adjust the first figure using the figsize
argument in the constructor, but how do I change the size of the second plot?
matplotlib 3.6.0
, width_ratios
and height_ratios
can now be passed directly as keyword arguments to plt.subplots
and subplot_mosaic
, as per What's new in Matplotlib 3.6.0 (Sep 15, 2022).f, (a0, a1) = plt.subplots(1, 2, width_ratios=[3, 1])
f, (a0, a1, a2) = plt.subplots(3, 1, height_ratios=[1, 1, 3])
subplots
function and pass the width ratio with gridspec_kw
matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpec
has available gridspect_kw
optionsimport numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# generate some data
x = np.arange(0, 10, 0.2)
y = np.sin(x)
# plot it
f, (a0, a1) = plt.subplots(1, 2, gridspec_kw={'width_ratios': [3, 1]})
a0.plot(x, y)
a1.plot(y, x)
f.tight_layout()
f.savefig('grid_figure.pdf')
# plot it
f, (a0, a1, a2) = plt.subplots(3, 1, gridspec_kw={'height_ratios': [1, 1, 3]})
a0.plot(x, y)
a1.plot(x, y)
a2.plot(x, y)
f.tight_layout()
